Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Feb 3.-A great deal Of inter
est was manifested in Washington, yesterday
and to-day, in the senatorial struggle at Indian
apos. Democrats here from that States pre-
tended to be jubilant and confident over the dec
laration made yesterday that Turpie had re-
ceived seventy-s six votes, and was therefore
elected, but they all acknowledged that there
was good grounds for the contest which the Re-
publicans will make. All parliamentarians and
lawyers say that State Senator Green Smith,
who has been declared to be Lieutenat governor,
has no right in law to act in the dual position he
occupies. They say he is clearly a State SEN
ator or Lieutenart t-governor. Ii the former. he
had no right to preside over the joint conven-
ton, and if the latter, he had no right to cast
the vote which he cast yesterday for Turpie for
United States Senator. as no tie existed. Sen
ator Edmunds, the best legal authority in the
United States Senate, says Smiths action as
presiding officer is without authority
or he voted for Turpie without authority.
In either event both acts make
his action void. He believes thar
Smith is usurper of functions which should
devolve upon Colonel Robertson as the legally
elected Lieutenant governor. No one seems to
gainsay the fact that one Democratic Senator,
Branaman, voted, who had no right to his seat
Democrats hold that legislative bodies are
judges of the qualifications of their own mem
bers, and say that this cannot come before the
United States Senate in a contests but this is
met by Republican members Of the Senate com
mittee on privileges and elections, who say that
this is legitimate question for the decision OF
the United States Senate, when the disquali
ication comes from constitutional or statutory
infrmities. In the face of the proceedings by
the Republicans of the Legislature to day, one
thing is sure, and that is, that Turpie will moi
take his seat on prima face evidence.

High License in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL. Feb. 3-The hall of the House of
Representatives was crowded this afternoon by
the friends and opponents of the F-osser high
license bill. which had already passed the SEN

at $780, motion 20 amend by making the

emphatic majority, and will doubtless become a
law. The bill permits municipal authorities to
make the license as much in excess of the above
they may see fit, and does not affect the local
option provision, previously passed.
